I had teal in my hair and now it has faded to green. I either want it red (like dark burgundy or blonde.
So, questions.
1. How do I get the green blonde? I know I have to bleach, but how do I not completely kill my hair? Box dye or something from Sallys??
2. If I were to do red.. I'd get a permanent red box dye from the drugstore. Would the green in my hair effect how the color of the red turns out?? And what's the best red from the drugstore??
Thank you SO much!!

You'd definitely have to bleah it to get the green out and the leftover green would definitely affect the turnout of the red. It would become a brownish or maybe a purpleish color. If you want to have color but don't want to damage your hair I would dye the bleached hair back to brown and get some microbead extensions from Sally's you can get them in whatever color you want they're super easy to put in and the color hardly fades. They are "permanent" meaning once you put them in you have to wait until they fall out (a few weeks) or take pliers and open the bead then take out the extension. I have had mine for about a month and a half and I love them!

Ok so if you don't get the green out and put red over it the colors will cancel eachother out (since they are complimentary colors) and you will end up brownish. so bleach the green out (sorry but yes that is the best option and yes it will damage) and then use a red. For a fun red use a manic panic type product. you could use a color remover instead of bleach but in the end you would probably still need to bleach. Good luck.

To turn it back blonde use washing up liquid instead of shampoo a couple of times, it should bring it back blonde :) be sure to use a good conditioner though :)
